This is a video from the EDUCAUSE 2011 Conference where Loyola University presented its modification to Project Risk -- a game where your team competes against others to complete a project. It' an interesting resource about using game learning to teach PM. You can learn more about it at http://www.successfulprojects.com/Store/ProjectRiskBoardGame/tabid/68/Default.aspx.

Lou Russel frequently contributes to ASTD and has a book called Project Management for Trainers. This links to the resources available on her website.

I recently attended a two-day ASTD certificate course she did in conjunction with the TechKnowledge conference in Las Vegas. It was informative and she has a unique approach that really presented some of the concepts in a straight-forward manner/ Of course, in two days you can only dig so deep but I would recommend the course for those new to project management.

This website discusses green project management. There are posts for certifications, training, conferences, and more. I was drawn into reading more on this because it never crossed my mind that there was "green" project management.

Interesting article and funny video. Leaves me still agreeing that a good PM app would eliminate 90% of these emails.

Managing elearning projects requires good communication between the instructional designers and subject matter experts. In most cases, this communication happens via email. Thus, better email communication ultimately leads to better project management, which most likely means better elearning courses. At a recent ASTD conference, I ran into Mike Song, the author of The Hamster Revolution.

Great SlideShare presentation given by Kim Mckee and Kimberly Klotz at the Teaching with Technology Conference at UAMS in July 2013. Includes Project Management phases as it relates to the ADDIE Model.

Clear and easy to understand. One item that stood out is the 'goals are defined by stakeholders'. When goals/definitions are clear from the beginning then it is easier to mover forward.
